L'Association was one of the most important publishers to come out of the new wave of Franco-Belgian comics in the 1990s, and remains highly regarded, being among the first to publish authors such as Joann Sfar and Marjane Satrapi.

Lapin is the group's magazine, which showcases many talents from the European alternative scene.

One of L'Association's finest works was the seminal Comix 2000 which featured work from over 300 creators from 29 countries in one 2000 page hardcover volume. This is an amazing anthology of black and white stories from many of the world's best independent cartoonists.
